73. The Incredibles


               Ok. Let’s just get it out in the open. I don’t like The Incredibles. I never have. I think that Pixar dropped the ball on it. From the first time I saw the trailer I didn’t want to see.  The only Pixar movie that is worse is WALL-E which happens to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. 
                Ever since I first heard of The Incredibles I instantly thought it was a Fantastic Four rip off.  Just take the FF super powers and put them in a family. There you have it. Unlike other Pixar movies I just thought this movie’s plot was not that good. Poorly put together.  Some of the supporting cast is fine.  But this movie has just never clicked with me. My wife can’t believe it. She loves, thus we own it.

Final Verdict: Not worth owning.

60. The Losers


                The Losers is kind of like a junior varsity A-team.  The movie is about a group of military men who are double crossed and believed to be dead. Only they aren’t dead. They are very much alive and ready to come after the evil man, MAX, who double crossed and tried to kill them.
              I never would have even thought to really watch this movie if I hadn’t read a review about it saying that it was very surprisingly well acted and looks great on blu ray. So the Netflix people sent it over and what are my thoughts? The Losers is surprisingly well acted and looks great on blu ray. Also it's very funny.
                The movie stars Jeffery Dean Morgan (Grey’s Anatomy), Zoe Saldana (Star Trek) and Chris Evans of Fantastic Four fame. The whole crew covers the gambit of characters. The fearless leader, the quiet assassin and the funny tech guy. But I do want to point out the evil mastermind MAX played by Jason Patric. MAX was quirky and great humor to the movie and to this role. So if you are looking for a great fun movie to watch one night check The Losers. Hey Patric was in Speed 2. It's better than that.

Final Verdict: Could own it on blu ray if I found it cheap.
